Yeah sporty looking as in not like a vespa or big wheeled postie bike!

Yeah looking around i will have to go 50cc unless i do a test...

At this stage its just an idea, but it means i have more to sepdn on the gtr :)

If your still looking for scooters, I can recommend Aprilia. I had a early 2000's SR50 Ditech, fuel & oil injected, water cooled, front & rear disc brakes, fat 13" wheels and handled really good. Standard they would only do 50-60 max, but derestrict them and just by changing the rollers with a bit of playing round they would do 80km/h easy. Different roller weights would give you better top end at a price of sacrifycing bottom end. Im a big bloke and managed to ride in a 80 km/h zone easily. I did this for well over 30,000km (daily commuting to work 55km round trip) without rebuilding the motor, (I was told by many ppl that it would need a rebuild after 20k)!! yeah right!!! :laugh: .

It was cheap transport as well 50km/l of fuel, and approx 1.2l oil tank would easily last 3000km for oil that cost under $20 a bottle.

Good fun too, so much so my mate brought one as well and we used to go cruising on the weekend. You can see on the aprilia site they also do 125cc, and a bad point now is the 50cc motors are different now to what it used to be carby vs fuel injected, and I beleive they are a different motor as well.

In SA you only needed a car licence for a 50cc scooter. :thumbsup:

Aprilia are known for shitting cranks, You may have had a good run I have replaced 5 cranks for people in these bikes. There was a few engines in these scooters

The morini was crap the mineralli engine was alot better. You may have had the mineralli one as most of the morni ones are on there 3rd crank

Roller weights too light no top speed, to heavy slow speed

just right fast acceleration as well as the same top speed.
